This patch fixes a OOPs originally introduced by: commit bb048357dad6d604520c91586334c9c230366a14 Author: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org> Date: Thu Sep 5 14:54:04 2013 -0700 iscsi-target: Add sk->sk_state_change to cleanup after TCP failure which would trigger a NULL pointer dereference when a TCP connection was closed asynchronously via iscsi_target_sk_state_change(), but only when the initial PDU processing in iscsi_target_do_login() from iscsi_np process context was blocked waiting for backend I/O to complete. To address this issue, this patch makes the following changes. First, it introduces some common helper functions used for checking socket closing state, checking login_flags, and atomically checking socket closing state + setting login_flags. Second, it introduces a LOGIN_FLAGS_INITIAL_PDU bit to know when a TCP connection has dropped via iscsi_target_sk_state_change(), but the initial PDU processing within iscsi_target_do_login() in iscsi_np context is still running. For this case, it sets LOGIN_FLAGS_CLOSED, but doesn't invoke schedule_delayed_work(). The original NULL pointer dereference case reported by MNC is now handled by iscsi_target_do_login() doing a iscsi_target_sk_check_close() before transitioning to FFP to determine when the socket has already closed, or iscsi_target_start_negotiation() if the login needs to exchange more PDUs (eg: iscsi_target_do_login returned 0) but the socket has closed. For both of these cases, the cleanup up of remaining connection resources will occur in iscsi_target_start_negotiation() from iscsi_np process context once the failure is detected. Finally, to handle to case where iscsi_target_sk_state_change() is called after the initial PDU procesing is complete, it now invokes conn->login_work -> iscsi_target_do_login_rx() to perform cleanup once existing iscsi_target_sk_check_close() checks detect connection failure. For this case, the cleanup of remaining connection resources will occur in iscsi_target_do_login_rx() from delayed workqueue process context once the failure is detected.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
